Question
What three measures can be adopted to strengthen rural-urban linkage?
Solution
Measures adopted to strengthen rural-urban linkages are:
- Bridging the divide between rural and urban areas necessitates a diversified strategy. One strategy is to invest in infrastructure and services that improve access to resources in rural areas. This could involve upgrading mobility, enhancing healthcare access and expanding high-speed internet.
- Urbanisation raises food demand and encourages dietary changes in cities; new demand might provide chances for rural producers to better their livelihoods. Strengthening food supply networks can make a significant contribution to eradicating hunger and decreasing poverty.
- Farming requires easy access to markets, which are typically located in cities. Better market access can boost farming revenues and stimulate the transition to higher-value crops or livestock.
